Distribute Queries The questionaircs were dis tributed to over 3.000 students on Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9 o'clock classes last semester. About 600 forms were sent to the faculty. Both students and faculty members considered one exam the optimum (most desirable) per day. while a majority con sidered two exams the maximum number.

Both faculty and students i favored the first, but the tally j was 120 faculty members and ! 1.3E0 students for the first and ' 92 faculty members and 1,185 students for the latter, j Instructors Approve 1 On a faculty-only portion of the questionaire. the instructors said the present rotation plan was satisfactory, that the exam period should not be abolished, and th;:t 6 or " days was most favorable for the exam period. 1 Students-only replies showed that most students had their exams snread out and that they preferred it that way. A largo majority said they did not go out of town during the testm? pen od. but those who did cited "rest as the reason for their treks home.
